Dave B, "if you find the evidence [that RDRAM suffered incompatibility problems]" The evidences you want are apparently tightly sealed in private corresponence between three close parties - Dell, Intel, and Rambus, and probably hard to find unless under a court order. However, there were numerous indications that there were long problems between 800MHz RIMMs, 600MHzR RIMMS, and several different boards at Dell. Dell was widely ridiculed on SI boards for delays in some systems configured with PC800 RIMMs while offering the same system with PC733 and PC600 memories, while at the same time some other models equipped with PC800 memory were on sale. Ask Scumbria to dig out my posts on this matter from year or so ago. You also were offered an "update" on i840 board Message 15503490 that states that certain RIMM modules (12-chip, or something like that) were not working while other RIMMs were fine. Which clearly falls under a definition of "incompatibility". In summary, your statement that Rambus memory never suffered compatibility problems does not pass the reality check.
